Look who had a spa day! It’s DOTTIE & Wally’s baby girl Loretta/Lola from the Whimpy kid litter! What a beautiful girl she is! So loved and pampered! How we love facebook and keeping in touch with our babies!

WOW we needed a good run!! Harlee had a half day of school so we picked her up at the bus stop and went to play! The snow was deeper than we expected so we ended up with boots full of snow but it’s worth it to see the girls enjoying themselves. It’s hard work trudging through that deep snow. When the dogs start picking at their feet we go home home. Harlee though grandpa should shovel us a path haha. Her daddy/ daughter dance is tomorrow, she’s so excited😀 my puppy Socializer is growing up😩

Another pampered girl sweet Raina/Nutmeg with her great aunt (Grandma Lexie’s big sister) Flicka/Ginger. They are so sweet together☺️so happy to see our babies enjoying their new lives!! Rosalie started her season so we will have a WALLY rendezvous here shortly. Dennis won’t be ready until next time, we should get colors like RENE had, which was wonderful variety😀 more black I’d think. Due around tax time. Yeah looking forward to more babies!

Highness/Sophie got a big girl haircut. She ‘s all settled into her new home and loves her new poodles siblings. Such a pampered girl. I’m always glad when we get to keep some one longer than normal but earlier is easier on the pup. Both JODEE and Highness thought they were staying with us 😥 it makes their adjustment more confusing for them as they were settled into our routine. They all do fine and the RIGHT home is worth waiting for☺️

Look who LIKES her teeth brushed😀 Loretta/Lola!! The DOTTIE and WALLY babies are so eager to please😍 so sweet! We are adjusting to being puppyless. It’s been really cold so we haven’t been to the park in a few days. Bill and Harlee are moved into their new house so I’ve started painting wine glasses. They are really fun. When I have some ready I’ll put them on the Pootique 😉

Toby and Luke/Mac are so beautiful!! At least shaved Anita can tell them apart! So cute and they are best buddies. Littermate’s is the way to go if you plan on having two dogs. They are so happy being together!! Patsy/Cookie is enjoying her life with her poodle companion Oreo. Our babies got such great families that love them! An absolute MUST HAVE for a pampered puppy😍
We are puppy less 😥 and trying to get back to our routine without Highness. Bill is moved in to his new home, I have a few loose ends to finish up ( he needs to buy supplies) but then we will get busy on our new retirement house across the lake (much smaller than this one) Last spring we bought 1.7 acres on the same lake we are on now (10 lots called west Cove manor, so we call it THE MANOR) it’s roughed in and we’ve put up some walls but now it’s time to get busy😊

Citori and Izzie ( Lexie’s mother and litter mate) that live with Trisha, Ted and the twins in Lansing. We loaded some stuff in the back hatch of the Kia and went into the house leaving the girls outside. I noticed Citori out the window and quickly called her back into the house, but couldn’t find Izzie😳 ( panic mounting) Citori walked over to the car and drew our attention to the inside of the car where Izzie was calmly waiting to GO for a ride HAHA she must have jumped in over the back seat. Silly girl! Highness/Sophie doing great in her new home. Snuggling with her new poodle siblings, eating and TAILS UP!!

Harlee and I met Highness/Sophie’s new family in Lansing (they came from Ohio) she is used to car rides but she knew something was up. We try to be perky but it’s really a day of mixed emotions. It’s hard to be sad when the new family is so excited, we know without a doubt she will be treasured😊 these people were worth waiting for😍 After our puppy delivery we went to visit Trisha, Ted and the twins ( now 4) to cheer us up😫 Back at home the rest of the family is moving Bill into his new home. His kidney stone picked a bad time to start moving around 😬

Hahahaha looks like JoDee/Alina has settled in nicely😀 LOL LOVE her innocent face☺️ it is clear to see this pup is treasured❤️it is worth it to me to keep them until we find the RIGHT HOME. If I didn’t care where they went and what their lives would be like I’d give them a clearance price and be “rid” ( you get RID of mice and lice NOT PUPPIES) of them like other breeders. We think our babies deserve the BEST LIVES (something I think ALL pets should get but sadly I can only control what happens to mine) 😭 Today is our last day with HIGHNESS/Sophie like JODEE/Alina she will be so loved and so special to her new family💕

We go everyday to Bill and Harlee’s new home to get it ready to move into. It’s been quite a project as old guy bought it for young girl, young girl moves in young guy so old guy throws them both out but not before they totally TRASH the place😡 We replaced pretty much everything. It’s on 20 wooded acres in Harlee’s school district which was more important than the shape of the house. So I take Highness/Sophie and Parris with me, so she’s not spending time alone, and Parris is the best girl, just happy being with me. I like projects so I’m happy to help out while he’s at work. After awhile they think we’ve been there long enough and I get this look😀
